3.5/4

Ms. Dore's work is not only a tribute to past bravery and determination, but also a warning and urgent rallying cry to the next wave.

3.5/5

Although much of that archival footage is incredibly familiar after decades of exposure - the burning bras, the clever protest signs, the impassioned speeches, Gloria Steinem - it's the footage of the opposition that really shocks.

2.5/5

Informative, timely, and important. But as a piece of cinema, 'She's Beautiful' is pedestrian at best.

8/10

Blistering, informative, and wildly entertaining. But the most jaw-dropping thing about the film is that it's somehow the very first of its kind; never before has the women's movement been the subject of a feature documentary.

She's Beautiful When She's Angry's portrait of "This is what feminism looked like," seems lacking.

Absolute respect for these powerful ladies that lead the women's liberation movement. It's important to continue their work as the fight for women's rights isn't over.
